Japan would probably still be isolated.

in 1853 US sent warships to force Japan to trade with the west.

Its imperial aspirations were fueled by western thought.

And there is this….

I started knitting for my kids when we were living in colorado.

so I ended up processing wool from raw fleece -> hat

raw merino fleece, raw alpaca fleece, Scouring soap, dye, dyeing classes with natalie redding, spinning wheel, drum carder, hackle, table loom, warping thing for yarn

Math

ended up going to school for math education (with pell grant $500 per 6 month term) I can’t pass the exit exam. tried 5 times out of those I had to pay out of pocket for 4 of them $480.

and surprise, I got dxed with ADHD. That’s why I couldn’t pass the tests. now I pay $50 a month for it (doc + meds)

Yea while we were in alaska we were capped. we were in fairbanks as well, which isn’t that rural. I lived in the high desert of california. drive 20 min from hesperia to phelan and you could probably get meth easier than consistent internet.

A random neighbor had terok nor so naturally we changed ours to the bajoran resistance :)

I’m reiterating, watch SNW!

you’re missing out. I’m a 90s trek girl however SNW has the right amount of cheese for it to be really great and easier to watch than TOS

Strange New Worlds is a great starting point. SNW is set in the 5 year mission before Kirk’s 5 year mission on the enterprise. There are some arcs that you might not get but it’s not necessary to know what the episode is about because it is episodic. I watched the corresponding TOS / Discovery episodes with Captain Pike after I watched the SNW episodes to fill in the parts that I really didn’t get but here is a list of the episodes I watched.

The Menagerie Part 1 and 2 (TOS) -> Through the Valley of Shadows (DIS) -> A quality of Mercy (SNW) -> Balance of Terror (TOS)

Picard season 3 is an absolute must if you watched next gen / DS9. For the whole season to make sense you’ll probably want to watch the last 2 seasons of DS9. If you watch the last 2 episodes of picard season 3, watch TNG’s best of both worlds part 1 & 2, All good things… (the series finale), and Voyager’s Endgame (the series finale) it’ll make more sense.

the last 2 seasons of DS9 is very political and heavy but many people say it’s the best trek - however now SNW is getting close to taking the title.

I think the whole thing is that your instance can defederate so even if there were things like that existing you wouldn’t see it. There are plenty of instances that’s not federated with lemmy.ml i believe.

I am not technical however I can follow instructions very well. When people were migrating i read a bunch of the stuff and finally got here.

My MIL can program cobol but can’t use her iphone lol

Captain Admiral janeway and captain chakotay. I was so excited about what’s in store for them but now….

I’m biased being JC shipper since 1995

Yea, that’s what I thought too so I wanted to watch my faves a few more times before it’s gone. I logged on and it’s not there. I went through my recent, searched prodigy and Star Trek. Nothing

ETA: just checked. It is 1210 PST. It is gone

I wanted to watch supernova again, my husband and I watched the “ghost in the machine” last night. We were too tired to watch others. This morning it’s gone.

I am so fucking pissed right now.

It’s gone now as of 1030 am PST 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
